An Ontology Change Management System: An experiment on a health care case study (original) (raw)

2010, 2nd International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Ontology Developement (KEOD’10), Valencia, Spain

Numerous ontologies have been developed for life science domains. These ontologies are continuously changing. Thus, it is becoming important to study and to manage these changes in order to keep all dependent ontologies and their related mappings consistent. The aim of this paper is to propose an agent based approach enabling not only ontology and ontology mapping evolution analysis but also to manage their changes. An experiment in health care illustrates the benefits of our approach. We apply our algorithm and implementation prototype p 2 OEManager to eye specialist ontology (ESO) and primary health care ontology (PCO), and particularly, we use the prototype and our ontology agent model to manage some significant changes in the ESO ontology.
